I think they are saying that they opened a case and found this chase. They listed it as 1:48 because they opened 4 boxes. There's likely another case with a different chase in one of the 4 boxes, just like all the other deluxe releases.

I think it is just mislabed as 1:48 when it technically should be 1:96.

That is a great quote! I love the idea of frantic keyboard pounding, blood pressures rising, and the general insanity that goes with us taking these things remotely seriously- A geeky uproar strikes fear in the heart of the establishment!

I'll decide whether or not he is an officers after I find out how much I have to pay. Maybe it will be easier to take the beating if I can claim he is at least ranked, badges be damned!

Maybe he had to race off to battle and forgot to put his ranking badges on? Maybe he just left the barracks without it by accident? I forgot my employee ID badge today, but my work still let me in to do my job and no one demoted me. Maybe Vader was upset and force-ripped his badge away or it got blown off in battle? Maybe he's a stealth commander and the badge is hidden in the undershit? Maybe they left it blank so we could apply our own badges to have officers of different rank?

If he's just a technician, then why not have the gray jumpsuit we see in ANH? If he is a DS Gunner or Imperial Naval Guard sans Helmet & Armor, why not give him those cooler accessories like they did with Floppy Hat Luke? He must have some function other than "Imperial Guy in a Jumpsuit." Does it make sense that they have some kind of low level mechanic wearing the same outfit as a commanding offer, just sans the badges? Nonsense.

Amen. This is what it really comes down to for me. If he's just some Imperial flunkie, then I don't feel great about blowing hundreds of dollars on him. If he is the reinterpretation of my beloved vintage Imperial Commander reimagined in modern Kube form, then I can totally justify the extra cash to get him. Imperial Commander.

That chase is seriously weak. Not so sure about rushing to shell out big money for that one... Several releases ago, that would have been a good 4:12 figure to release. It's too bad that its now ending up as a 1/48 or 1/96 chsae.

The 60mm Sith Lord - All the hate and anger you've come to expect, now in a new conveniently sized package!

I don't understand all the hate over this figure. It certainly could have been done better, but it could have been a lot worse too. At least it's not a lame character or another Boba Fett variation. I think the only big flaw I see is the lack of torso detail, which honestly Jayson or someone with a half decent photoshop program could probably fix in 15 minutes. He's essentially just Veers with different colors - Veers is one of my favorite chases, so I actually think this is pretty cool. That said, if I get one I will probably do a little added customizing...

Any chance this is like the Poncho Luke where the first image wasn't accurate with the shirt details co pared to the actual product? I'm really disappointed by the blank shirt. I will NOT go out of my way to try and get one of these.

No as these are "in hand" photos from instinctoy and the only way that horrible torso piece could be wrong is if it's a production error. What I dislike about isnt so much the lack of detail but the different colour of the torso compared with the arms or the skirt.
